Decarbonisation Technology May 2025 Issue

tracing ensures that the oxygen supply, fuel lines, and other critical components remain at the optimal temperature, preventing issues such as condensation, freezing, or incomplete combustion. Conclusion The journey to decarbonising the cement industry is challenging, particularly given the high-temperature processes and carbon-intensive nature of cement production. However, heat tracing solutions offer a powerful tool to address these challenges. By enhancing energy efficiency, supporting the use of alternative fuels, optimising carbon capture processes, and improving process stability, heat tracing can play a pivotal role in reducing the cement industry’s carbon footprint. Through innovative applications of heat tracing, the industry can move closer to its goal of reducing emissions while maintaining the high standards of quality and efficiency that are crucial to its operations.

for optimal CO₂ absorption by solvents or membranes. Furthermore, heat tracing is essential in maintaining the temperature and pressure conditions required for the transportation and storage of captured CO₂. By preventing temperature fluctuations in pipelines and storage vessels, heat tracing helps maintain the integrity of the carbon capture process, ensuring that CO₂ is safely and efficiently transported to storage sites or utilisation facilities. x Enhancing process control and stability In cement production, process stability is critical to maintaining product quality and reducing energy consumption. Heat tracing solutions provide precise temperature control, which enhances the stability of key processes, such as kiln operation and fuel combustion. By maintaining consistent temperatures, heat tracing minimises the risk of process disruptions, which can lead to energy inefficiencies and increased emissions. For example, in oxy-fuel combustion systems, maintaining the correct temperature is vital for efficient combustion and CO₂ capture. Heat
